"If you thought science involves
scientists challenging each other’s ideas
and struggling to see who can best explain
the facts, you were wrong—according to a
cabal of left-wing activists, politicians, and
their media friends. They have launched a
crusade to intimidate scientists who dissent
from conventional alarmism over Global
Warming. Apparently, science should now focus on maintaining an orthodox set of beliefs
dictated by the political class, and troubling
facts like the failure of global temperatures
to rise as predicted must be ignored." Jim Lakely and James Taylor, writing for Capital Research Center, USA.
